December is just around the corner and we have such a busy month ahead of us! There will be new words this week and this will be unit 11. Please continue working on skip counting at home from any number. This skill is important because it will lead students into multiplication and later into division concepts. In Social Studies we are working out of "Our Community" books and learning what makes a safe community. Students are practising their song for the Winter performance with Ms. Quast. The school will be doing a "Fundraiser for Families" as we are using our virtues to raise money to help families. Any amount of donations will be accepted. As our class brings in money we will be building a Polar Mountain peak in the hallway...this will start November 30th to December 11th. Thank you for the kind support! December 7th is a Professional Development day so there will be no school on this day.Library BooksLibrary books must be returned to our class’ yellow bin (just inside our class door) by WEDNESDAY or Thursday morning. If your child is done with his/her books early, please return them at that time. Let’s work hard to prevent overdue books for this year.
